Olive Oil
Butter
Dust short ribs with flour and brown on all sides in a pot with a touch of olive oil and butter. Place in Crock Pot. Saute onion and Pepper till golden. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Place on top of ribs. Add rest of ingredients and cook on low for 7 hours.
I served this on a bed of cabbage that I boiled then fried till golden. Sauteed fresh spinach or cannellini beans are also great with it.
Q: OK Michelle, I bought that Marsala wine you wanted me to get now what the hell do I do with the rest?

Q: I heard Gastric Bypass patients get drunk quicker will I get drunk off of the booze in your recipe?
A: While it is true we tend to be cheap lushes post weight loss surgery I dare say you will not catch a buzz off of my Short Ribs or Chicken Marsala. If however you find yourself uttering the phrase, "I swear officer I just had some Chicken Marsala." I hearby disclaim responsibility. Seriously, it looks like only trace amounts of alcohol will remain after 7 hours of cooking.
